Ep. 13: How Spielberg's 'Jurassic Park' Changed Cinema, Science, and Storytelling
from Adaptation: Book to Movie · host Nate Day
In this roaring episode of Adaptation: Book to Movie, Nate, Chris, and special guest Jack dig into Michael Crichton's 1990 techno-thriller 'Jurassic Park' and Steven Spielberg's 1993 blockbuster adaptation. From the deadly differences between book and film (spoiler: Hammond's not so cuddly in the novel) to Jeff Goldblum's inexplicable sex appeal and the logistics of dinosaur enclosures, the trio unpacks the science, the spectacle, and the Spielbergification of one of the most influential films ever made. Also discussed: video game flops, traumatizing childhood viewings, and the boys' picks for the ultimate "movie night for the boys."
